Let's divide 472371 by 73
Our goal is to divide 472371 by 73.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 47 / 73

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 47 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 0 from 47.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 47, then repeat: 472 / 73

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 472 by 73, we get 6 and a remainder of 34.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 438 away from 472, we end up with 34.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 34 and continue with: 343 / 73

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 343 by 73, we get 4 and a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 64.0
Subtracting 292 from 343 leaves us with 51.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 51, then carry on: 517 / 73

Advancing to step 5:
73 goes into 517 7 times with a remainder of 6.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 647.0
Deduct 511 from 517 and we're left with 6.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 61 / 73

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 61 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 61.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6470.0
If we take 0 away from 61, we end up with 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 73 fits into 610 8 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6470.8
If we subtract 584 from 610, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 73 fits into 260 3 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6470.83
Deduct 219 from 260 and we're left with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 73 fits into 410 5 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6470.835
Subtracting 365 from 410 leaves us with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
450 divided by 73 is 6 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6470.8356
Subtract 438 from 450 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 120 by 73, we get 1 and a remainder of 47.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6470.83561
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 73 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
73 goes into 470 6 times with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6470.835616
Deduct 438 from 470 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 320 by 73, we get 4 and a remainder of 28.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6470.8356164
Subtracting 292 from 320 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 280 by 73, we get 3 with a remainder of 61.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6470.83561643
The remainder is 61 after subtracting 219 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6470.83561643 with a remaining 6.1e-08.
